Of all the campaign promises broken by Barack Obama, none stands out more than his intention to improve the discourse in Washington; "reach across the aisle" he proclaimed. Upon being sworn in as president he told Republicans, "I won, you lost, that's what elections are for." He has governed with that attitude four years, dividing the nation along economic, racial and religious lines.

Upon launching his re-election bid Obama's strategy was "Kill Romney." True to his word, he brought "Chicago-style" politics to the national stage, the same under-handed techniques used to sabotage Hillary Clinton's candidacy in 2008. The formula is simple: demonize, lie and portray your opponent as untrustworthy, all the while never offering solutions of your own.

Our national debt, unemployment and global terrorism issues are huge. It will take all Americans working together to solve it. We don't need a "finger-pointing" president who is out of ideas.
